The N‐end rule pathway of protein degradation

Open access
Varshavsky, Alexander·1997·Genes to Cells

Abstract

The N‐end rule relates the in vivo half‐life of a protein to the identity of its N‐terminal residue. Similar but distinct versions of the N‐end rule operate in all organisms examined, from mammals to fungi and bacteria. In eukaryotes, the N‐end rule pathway is a part of the ubiquitin system. Ubiquitin is a 76‐residue protein whose covalent conjugation to other proteins plays a role in many biological processes, including cell growth and differentiation. I discuss the current understanding of the N‐end rule pathway.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
